Product Description
The Simpson End Post Cap for 6x Rough is engineered by Simpson to handle post-to-beam end conditions with speed and confidence. With post and beam flanges positioned in-line, a single model accommodates several post sizes, reducing the need to stock multiple connectors for a job. Built from 16-gauge steel with a ZMAX finish for corrosion resistance across a wide range of exposure conditions, this end post cap is a dependable structural connection solution for 6x rough sawn lumber.
Key Features
- ZMAX galvanized finish - provides enhanced corrosion resistance to meet exposure conditions in many environments, helping the connector hold up over time in demanding installations
- In-line post and beam flanges - one model accommodates several post sizes, giving you flexibility on the job site and reducing the number of connectors you need to manage
- Installs with 0.148 in. x 3 in. nails or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws - supports multiple fastener options so you can work with the tools and hardware already on hand
- 16-gauge steel construction - delivers structural strength suited to post-to-beam end connections in solid sawn and rough lumber framing applications
- Designed for 6x rough lumber - purpose-built seat geometry matches the member size so the cap fits correctly without modification or guesswork
Why This Product
- Versatile by design - because the post and beam flanges are in-line, a single end post cap model works across several post sizes, making it a practical choice for contractors handling varied framing conditions
- Built for exposure - the ZMAX finish goes beyond standard galvanizing to resist corrosion in a wider range of environments, making this cap appropriate for exterior and other demanding structural applications
- Fast, straightforward installation - compatibility with both nails and Strong-Drive SD Connector screws means fewer trips to source specific hardware and quicker connections from layout to completion
